"The Actor Ichikawa Danjuro II as Soga no Goro and Nakamura Takesaburo I as Kewaizaka no Shosho in the play "Bando Ichi Kotobuki Soga," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the first month, 1715" is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by Torii Kiyonobu I, created in 1715. This print depicts two famous Kabuki actors in their roles from a popular play. The bold lines and vibrant colors characteristic of Kiyonobu's style bring the scene to life, capturing the dynamism of the actors' performance. This work is a valuable window into the world of Edo-period theater and the enduring appeal of Kabuki.
